Not only Mbappé, Man City prepares plan B after striker's exit to Real Madrid

Manchester City would be immersed in the summer transfer market window, as after having had talks with Kylian Mbappe’s entourage in the last few weeks, the Mancunian club would have started to develop a massive plan to sign a striker able to play alongside Haaland in the Guardiola’s team.

In this sense, it would be worth remembering that according to the information reported by Marca, the PSG striker would have already sealed his arrival to Real Madrid after agreeing the details of his contract with the Madrilean team, which would offer the striker a yearly salary of $15-20 million and a compensation of at least $40 million for arriving as a free agent.

In this respect, according to the British media, Manchester City would have tried to change the mind of the player with a last minute offer, which despite having increased the amounts offered by Real Madrid, wouldn’t have been enough to convince the player, whose willingness would be joining the Spanish team.

For this reason, Manchester City would have decided to move quickly for another striker to complement Haaland, who would be definitely the center of their project. According to the Italian media, the Mancunian club would have put their eyes on a player from AC Milan, and they would initiate their approach to him in the next few weeks.

Who’s the player wanted by City?

This player would be none other than Rafa Leao, who would be available for at least $100 million, a reachable amount for the Citizen. However, they would face a massive competition from PSG, who would be thinking about the Portuguese superstar as a potential Mbappe’s replacement, and both clubs could live a great bidding war for the player in the next few months.
